$Revision$
|
|
|
|
This is a line-editing library. It can be linked into almost any
|
|
program to provide command-line editing and recall.
|
|
|
|
It is call-compatible with the FSF readline library, but it is a
|
|
fraction of the size (and offers fewer features). It does not use
|
|
standard I/O. It is distributed under a "C News-like" copyright.
|
|
|
|
Configuration is done in the Makefile. Type "make testit" to get
|
|
a small slow shell for testing.
|
|
|
|
An earlier version was distributed with Byron's rc. Principal
|
|
changes over that version include:
|
|
Faster.
|
|
Is eight-bit clean (thanks to brendan@cs.widener.edu)
|
|
Written in K&R C, but ANSI compliant (gcc all warnings)
|
|
Propagates EOF properly; rc trip test now passes
|
|
Doesn't need or use or provide memmove.
|
|
More robust
|
|
Calling sequence changed to be compatible with readline.
|
|
Test program, new manpage, better configuration
|
|
More system-independant; includes Unix and OS-9 support.
|
|
|
|
Enjoy,
|
